  • Here is another video from one of our fossil hunts, make sure to stick around to the end of the video to see the special fossil at the end! This time, a Jurassic Ichthyosaur Jaw filled with sharp teeth! This is an insight into the past, what life was like 180 Million Years Ago even before many of the most famous land-dwelling Dinosaurs ever existed.

      I don't like how modern cameras automatically adjust light based on amount of light in the view, that's most stupid thing ever, and it became a standard. If you move the camera up to include any portion of the sky, the rest of the image instantly get darker, it is so unnatural, that's how our eyes see the world, even though our eyes adjust a little, but not that dramatic. When will the camera makers realize their stupidity?

  • @flamencoprof
    @flamencoprof 3 года назад +1

    I am wondering two things:
    1. At 4:33 the stone seems so symmetrically encasing the fossil. Is that chance? Or has the fossilisation caused a zone of hardness differential that has resulted in the pattern of sea-wear being equidistant all around the fossil?
    2. Why there has not been developed a more elegant, maybe slower chemical method for extracting the fossils besides just hitting everything with a hammer and chisel, albeit with skill and experience?
